the same when the candle burns down its full length.

During the course of the following specification other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 represents a fragmentary vertical sectional view through the holder.

Figure 2 is a top plan View of the holder.

Figure Brepresents a bottom plan view of the holder before the clip has been bent.

Figure 4 represents the tube which is retained by the clip shown in Figure 3.

Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 represents the usual Candlestick having the socket 6 in the top thereof.

The holder consists of the concavo-convex shaped cup 1 which has upstanding spring U- shaped clip members 8-9 crossing each other on the top side thereof and retained to the central portion of the cup l by the rivet IU which rivet also retains the ductile cross members Il hereinafter described, in place.

To properly position the tube section I2 in place against the cup 1, the tube is placed up against the bottom of the cup 'l as shown in Figure 1, after the cross members H have been disposed therethrough, and subsequently the cross members are bent outwardly and up against the outside of the tube l2 in the manner substantially shoyn in Figure 1. Thus, the anchoring tube I2 is rmly held and secured to the cup 1. matter of fact the clips 8 and 9 as well as the anchoring tube I2 are all retained in place by the single rivet I0. Thus when the candle burns down its full length very little damage can be done to the holder.

As clearly illustrated in Figure 4 the tube I2 is formed of a strip curled into tubular form, the edges of the strip being lapped so that the tube I2 can be readily increased or diminished in diameter to t the different size sockets in different Candlesticks.

While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size ,and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having thus vdescribed my invention, what I claim as new is:

A candle holder for Candlesticks having sockets in their upper ends, comprising essentially a tallow catching cup, a candle supporting clip on the top of the cup, a plurality of resilient fingers, said lingers being secured to the bottom side of the cup, and an anchoring tube through which the said fingers vare disposed and bent backwardly against the outside of the tube, the said tube being pendent from the cup and connected by the fingers thereto, and said tube being in the form of a cylinder the contiguous edges of which are lapped and free tomove relatively to each other so that the tube may be increased or diminished in diameter to tightly fit in Candlestick sockets of different diameter.
